Xi Ye's actions surprised Lin Suqing greatly, as he had never seen anyone so forthright. However, perhaps "forthright" was not the right word to describe Xi Ye's nature.
If a definition must be given, Lin Suqing thought it should be "willful." But Xi Ye's willfulness was not meant in a derogatory sense; it was just the right amount. Any more would appear fiercely unrestrained, any less would lose his unique characteristics.
Perhaps it was related to his unusual identity?
"Xi Ye, are you a wolf?" Lin Suqing, having been in situations of "to ask or not to ask," asked directly to avoid Xi Ye refusing to answer.
Of course, the reason was also that given Xi Ye's generous and open nature, he likely would not mind whether it was impolite or not.
Who knew that at this, Xi Ye's expression suddenly stiffened. He didn't answer Lin Suqing but turned to speak with Luoluo, "I told you he was remarkable. See, he noticed right away that I am not ordinary. And you said he was merely a mortal."
